Detailed explanation-1: -Some reactions to the New Immigration were big businesses taking control of the immigrants (since the government didn’t), and immigrants being exploited for their political votes. The new immigrants were different because they came from southern and eastern Europe including Jews, Italians, Croats, and Poles.
Detailed explanation-2: -"Old” immigrants came for economic reasons, while “new” immigrants came looking for religious freedom. “Old” immigrants were primarily Catholic, while many “new” immigrants were Jewish or Protestant. “Old” immigrants came from Northern and Western Europe, while “new“ immigrants came from Southern and Eastern Europe.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are some studies that conclude that the flood of immigration in the late 19th and early 20th centuries had an adverse impact on the per-capita economic growth, the wages of native workers, and diverted domestic migration away from industrializing cities (Hatton and Williamson 1998: Chapter 8; Goldin 1994).
Detailed explanation-4: -The United States experienced major waves of immigration during the colonial era, the first part of the 19th century and from the 1880s to 1920. Many immigrants came to America seeking greater economic opportunity, while some, such as the Pilgrims in the early 1600s, arrived in search of religious freedom.
